With Ashlee Simpson’s due date looming closer and closer each day, it’s important for her to surround herself with women who can help her get ready for motherhood. And yesterday (August 14), Nicole Richie looked to be passing on a few pearls of wisdom to the “La La” singer.
The new mommy and the mother-to-be were spotted enjoying an afternoon of shoe shopping at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills before heading out into the residential areas to do a little house hunting.
And it sounds like Miss Richie is broadening the scope of her aid to new mothers with a new initiative to provide baby products to moms in need.
She’ll be launching a new online gift registry through her Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation in hopes that she can make a difference. RMCF director Bruce Richman told press, “Nicole saw that even a clean blanket was out of reach for some of these new moms so she wanted to figure out an efficient way to connect them with companies and individuals who want to help.”
And Nicole declared, “We take for granted the basic necessities. For some families, it’s a serious struggle. This is one way to ease the financial burden, and help new babies have a good start in life. We are only working with companies and products that Joel and I would use. We’re checking every product out for safety – and all products are BPA-free.”
